I think the rifle has one of three problems:
- light firing pin spring,
- short firing pin, or
- rim area of chamber cut too deep.
Send that gun back to Krieghoff and tell those Germans to get their act together.
If you read the OP you will see that the gun is ten years old and has (from lack of written evidence to say otherwise) performed up untill the incident with that one round which leads me to believe it is a ammo rather than rifle problem.
I have had a packet of Winchester ammo with a primer in backward so with the millions of rounds manufactured it is not surprising that an OCASIONAL failure of QC might let a brummy slip through. Maybe it should never happen but nothing and no-one can get it right 100% of the time.
